101: Landing in New York

Ten thousand meters high, above the stratosphere.

The Boeing 787-9 "Tiangong" was gliding silently through the clouds.

The anti-turbulence capability of this wide-body airliner was at a bug-level, and sitting inside, one couldn't feel even a trace of vibration.

Inside the aerial master suite that occupied a full third of the cabin.

Jiang Yuan was lying on that custom-made 2.4-meter extra-wide bed, covered by a thin velvet blanket.

Beneath the maid's feet was a five-centimeter-thick handmade wool carpet, and beside it was a private bathroom with shower facilities.

In this private space of nearly 100 square meters, a personal maid was kneeling by the bed, professionally massaging his shoulders and neck.

The flight from Iceland to New York wasn't too far, taking about six hours.

Jiang Yuan set off in the morning, and when he landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), it was just noon in New York.

"Sir, the plane is about to land."

The captain's voice came gently through the intercom broadcast.

Jiang Yuan stretched, his joints popping with a crisp sound.

The plane touched down smoothly and taxied to the private terminal.

The cabin door opened.

Unlike the desolation of Iceland where there was only one car, this was the center of the world.

On the tarmac, a pitch-black Cadillac Presidential One (Escalade extended bulletproof version), resembling an armored vehicle, was already waiting.

Four bodyguards in black suits wearing sunglasses stood by the car, their aura stern and murderous.

Jiang Yuan just stepped onto the soil of New York.

The long-lost electronic voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

【Ding!】

【Detected that the Host has arrived at the core map — New York.】

【Check-in successful!】

【Rewards are being calculated... This reward will significantly enhance the Host's dominance in the capitalist world.】

【Reward 1: 100 billion USD in cash.】

【Reward 2: New York · Atlantis Estate (end of Long Island · private peninsula, including private museum, general hospital, helipad, etc.), valued at 3 billion USD.】

【Reward 3: Three penthouse duplexes at Central Park Tower (floors 129-131).】

【Reward 4: Gene Lock · Stage 3 unlocked (Superman).】

【Reward 5: Global top-tier supercar collection (already parked in the garage).】

Boom!

If the previous rewards had made him a wealthy man, then this wave completely turned him into a Divine Magnate.

100 billion USD in cash flow.

This concept was too terrifying; Apple's cash reserves were about this amount, but this was his personal money, and he already had tens of billions himself.

Before Jiang Yuan could even digest this astronomical figure.

A warm current suddenly erupted from his heart, instantly sweeping through his entire body.

Jiang Yuan clenched his fist.

The air let out an explosive sound in his palm.

This feeling... it was as if as long as he wanted to, he could easily tear apart the bulletproof Escalade next to him with his bare hands.

"Hoo..."

Jiang Yuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, suppressed the violent power within him that wanted to destroy everything, and bent down to sit in the car.

"Go to the estate."

The motorcade drove out of the airport, passed through Queens, and headed straight for the Gold Coast at the easternmost end of Long Island.

Along the way, looking at the skyscraper skyline outside the window, Jiang Yuan's heart was calm as water.

Until the car had been driving for an hour and a half and entered a private territory completely isolated by the forest.

Which was the Atlantis Estate rewarded by the system.

Even though Jiang Yuan had already witnessed the luxury of the Polar Night Estate in Iceland, when the motorcade passed through that ten-meter-high bronze gate, he was still shocked.

The hell is this an estate?

This was clearly a miniature version of a city!

Although the estate in Iceland was large, it won on the vastness of the desolate land area.

But here, in New York where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold, it had forcefully enclosed an entire peninsula.

Looking around.

It wasn't one building, but a cluster of white European-style palaces distributed in an orderly fashion on the sea cliff.

On the left was a private museum with all-glass exterior walls, where huge dinosaur fossils could be vaguely seen inside.

On the right was a white medical building, with two ICU-level ambulances parked at the entrance — that was his private hospital, with doctors and nurses on standby 24 hours a day.

Even in the inner bay of the estate, there was a superyacht parked that was three times larger than the one in Iceland.

It was too exaggerated.

Even if he had searched all of New York on Google Maps, he had never seen this place.

This was definitely the system using its great power to create it directly in the reality of this dimension.

The car door opened.

This time, he was not greeted by Charles, but by an old butler with blonde hair and blue eyes who had an even more powerful aura, with a line of servants behind him that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Jiang Yuan stood on the fountain square in front of the main building, looking at this cluster of buildings that was enough to make Hollywood movies look shabby.

For the first time, he had an absurd yet real feeling:

Living here, if one wanted to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, would one have to turn on navigation and step on the gas pedal to get there?

This was not an exaggeration.

The roster submitted by Charles showed that the resident service team of this Atlantis Estate consisted of a full one thousand people.

The monthly salary alone was an astronomical figure.

Here, even the gardener trimming the lawn and the cleaner wiping the street lamps started with a monthly salary of ten thousand USD.

This did not even include full top-tier medical insurance and paid leave.

This was not recruiting; this was clearly doing charity in New York. Who knows how many top graduates were racking their brains trying to get in to be a butler's assistant.

Passing through that outrageously luxurious domed hall.

The authentic Monet Water Lilies hanging on the wall were just decorative paintings used to cover the distribution box here.

Jiang Yuan didn't stay in the hall and went straight to the garage.

Or rather, a "vehicle museum."

The first area was the supercar zone.

Bugatti La Voiture Noire, Koenigsegg One:1, Ferrari LaFerrari... these limited-edition supercars that were worshiped as collectibles by the wealthy around the world were parked in two full rows here like cabbages.

The second area was the off-road and heavy vehicle zone.

Unimog, Knight XV, and several luxury RVs larger than buses exuded a rugged steel aura.

The real core area was in the third zone.

Passing through a titanium alloy gate with dual iris and vein verification, he took a pure white high-speed elevator down fifty meters.

Ding.

The moment the door opened, a cold, sci-fi atmosphere rushed toward him.

This was a huge, pure white underground space, full of a futuristic feel.

Everything parked here was black technology produced by the system.

And the most conspicuous one was the steel beast parked in the very center.

Codename: 【Apocalypse】.

It looked like a combination of a tank and a space rover, pitch-black, without any welding seams.

According to the system panel, this thing's power source was a micro-nuclear reactor.

Firepower coverage: Global.

Strike precision: Within half a meter.

In other words, as long as Jiang Yuan sat in this car and pressed a button, he could accurately blow up someone on the other side of the earth.

And on the wall on one side of the garage was a huge holographic projection screen.
